| Above, John Wayne and Hardy Krüger in Hatari! |
A German actor who appeared with John Wayne in the film, Hatari! (1962) has passed away.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Hardy Krüger, the German actor who starred alongside John Wayne in Howard Hawks’ Hatari!, Laurence Olivier in Richard Attenborough’s A Bridge Too Far and Ryan O’Neal in Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, has died at his home in Palm Springs. He was 93.
Krüger died “suddenly and unexpectedly” on Wednesday, his German agency in Hamburg said in a statement, adding, “his warmth of heart, joie de vivre and his unshakable sense of justice will make him unforgettable.”
Born in Berlin in 1928, the child of ardent Nazis (in his 2016 autobiography, he said he was “raised to love Hitler”), Krüger made his film debut in The Young Eagles, a 1944 propagandist coming-of-age drama.
